La Magdalena
Located in the Sanchez Ramirez province, La Magdalena is the farm where we've 'bred' our crowning achievement: light breaking cacao. Few of these cacaos have survived; we have managed to rescue and restore their DNA. Only a dozen trees of this variety survived in the Dominican Republic when the Rizek family started to rescue and reproduce this unique genetic variety, limited in the world.
Among some of the crops we have in the farm are: coconuts, bananas, precious wood, like mahogany & rubber trees (hebea brasiliensis).
The "Dominican Lightbreaking" cacao has a very high level of dried fruit and chocolate, as well as a light brown color.
La Magdalena is used on the following products:
